Time to have a check in the polls and bets. First we check the progress in the betting odds and we avoid to give poll predictions (yet) as most of them are voted by very small number of voters often easily to manipulate.

UPDATE 18.05.2013 – 18:00 CET
With Europrediction 2013 declaring Denmark and Azerbaijan as the possible winners of Eurovision 2013 we have the last look on the polls and bets for the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest edition. Regarding the website polls we have the following predictions:

In last few years bookies have always had good prognosis. Will it be this year also, we will just have to wait untill midnight tonight, when we will know the winner of 58th Eurovision Song Contest. Of course the smallest odd is on the Denmark – 1.5, while Norway is second with four times bigger odd than Denmark’s. Then in top five we have Russia, Azerbaijan and Italy with odds between 10 and 25, but Italy’s rates by some bookies are going over 30. Then we have Greece and the Netherlands. Their rates are going from 26 up to 50. Just few days ago Anouk was third, so we can say that this is the biggest fall, while Georgia is currently ninth and few days ago, Sopho and Nodi wasn’t in top ten.

Their current odds are simmilar to Greek and Dutch ones. So they with Greek representatives have the biggest rise in the odds, what can also be said for Finland, as Krista, probably with her kiss, has managed to come on tenth position with the odds arround 50. And on the bottom 5 we have France, Armenia, Lithuania, Spain and Estonia, meaning that if some of these countries win, that can be declared as 8th world wonder, because their odds are going from 250 up to 1000.

UPDATE 16.05.2013
Time to check the predictions for the second semifinal. First we notify you that Europrediction 2013 results will be announced at 18:00 CET. Now let’s see what the betting odds say about the second semifinal: Norway, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Greece, San Marino, Malta, Finland, Israel, Armenia, Romania to the final. In the first semifinal the bookies predicted 7/10 (as most fan sites did as well) but it was oikotimes.com who got 8/10 in Europrediction. Regarding the final: Denmark, Norway, Ukraine, Russia and Azerbaijan are now considered the hot favourites for the trophy.

UPDATE 14.05.2013
Tonight the first semifinal tooks place. We are bringing you the latest from the betting odds. As oddscheckers rates are showing the most certain qualifiers tonight are Denmark and Russia. Right behind them is Ukraine with a less than a decimal difference. Serbia, Moldova and the Netherlands are up next as their rates are going between 1,1 and 1,2. Following their steps is Ireland as the rates are going over 1,2. Then we have Croatia and Belarus with their really close and almost equal rates that are going from 1,25 untill 1,4. As the last qualifier, oddshecker sees Estonia. Estonia’s rates are going arround 2, just a little under and just a little over. But there we could see some surprises as Montenegro and Austria are really close to eachother, but also more closer to Estonia. A high jump is noticable for the last for countries as their rate are over 3. The biggest surprise of the evening would be Slovenia’s qualification as the rates are 4 and up. Anyway to summary this, if we are sticking to these odds the list of qualifires would be as it follows : 1) Denmark 2) Russia 3) Ukraina 4) Serbia 5) Moldova 6) the Netherlands 7) Ireland 8) Croatia 9) Belarus 10) Estonia.
